“Nonsense. This electric net can’t be installed right after you return.” Zhao Wanting was not as gullible as when she was young.

“There’s material in the warehouse. My dad used it before. I took it out and installed it. It was pretty quick.”

“Why are you installing the power grid? Are you in some kind of danger?”

“I did encounter some danger, but it’s been resolved.” Lin Yi pushed open the door. “No, to be precise, it was tamed. Don’t be too afraid later.”

“Afraid? How can I be afraid… Ah! Wild boar!!!”

Zhao Wanting looked fearless before Lin Yi pushed open the courtyard door, but when she saw the huge creature in the courtyard, she immediately cried out in fear.

“Hmph, hmph, hmph.”

Little Black, which was lying beside the Star Origin Grass, raised its head and glanced at this noisy human.

It lowered its head and continued to lie down seeing that it was its master that had led her in.

“Wild boar! Elder Brother Xiaoyi, don’t go in! This is a wild boar!” Zhao Wanting was so frightened that her legs went limp, but she still grabbed Lin Yi with both hands and tried her best to pull him out.

“Don’t worry.” Lin Yi gently patted Zhao Wanting’s hand on his shirt. “I’ve tamed this wild boar. It’s very obedient now.”

Lin Yi broke free from Zhao Wanting’s hand, walked to Little Black’s side, and stroked its head seeing that she didn’t believe him.

Little Black let Lin Yi stroke him. There was no sign of an attack.

“T-this…”

Zhao Wanting found this scene unbelievable, but seeing was believing. This wild boar did seem to have been subdued by Lin Yi.

“Come, come here. Pat it too. Don’t worry, it won’t bite you.”

Zhao Wanting knew that Lin Yi would not harm her. After hesitating for a moment, she moved to Little Black’s side and placed her hand on Little Black’s head as Lin Yi did.

Little Black sniffed, remembered the smell of the hand, and lay obediently where it was, letting the two of them move it.

“This is amazing, Elder Brother Xiaoyi. These boars in the mountains are wild. How did you tame them?” Zhao Wanting asked curiously as she stroked the boar’s sharp fur.

“Coincidence. Maybe I’m fated with this guy,” Lin Yi explained vaguely.

The two of them played with Little Black for a while. During this time, Zhao Wanting also noticed the abnormality of the Star Origin Grass beside Little Black. After all, the gorgeous appearance of the Star Origin Grass was obviously not an ordinary flower.

She wanted to get close to the Star Origin Grass, but every time this happened, the docile Little Black would uncharacteristically glare at her and not let her get close to the Star Origin Grass.

Seeing this, Lin Yi did not say anything else. He only explained that the Star Origin Grass was an expensive species and was Little Black’s favorite. Little Black did not allow anyone to approach it.

Only then did Zhao Wanting give up.

After that, Zhao Wanting helped Lin Yi tidy up the various rooms. When Lin Yi cultivated, everything was simple. The rooms were actually not messy, they were still much cleaner with Zhao Wanting’s tidying.

While Zhao Wanting was tidying up the room, Lin Yi was picking vegetables in the field outside the small courtyard. There were vegetables planted in and outside of the courtyard, Lin Yi’s father had also cultivated several plots of land to grow vegetables.

He did not want to eat at Wanting’s house empty-handed. With the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the vegetables outside and in the courtyard grew very well.

There were even some vegetables that had changed a little.

For example, the stems and leaves of the cabbage had turned much whiter. Now, except for the leaves that were slightly green, the rest of it was snow-white. In contrast to the cabbage, the eggplant had turned from purple to green. After turning green, the eggplant that was almost ripe seemed to have just grown out.

These two were color changes that looked more obvious. The other vegetables had more or less changed.

Among these changes, size changes were the most common.

Therefore, the vegetables in Lin Yi’s farm looked very large.

Lin Yi picked out some vegetables that were slightly larger and had no obvious changes in shape and put them into a bag. He was afraid of unnecessary trouble if the changes were too obvious.

When the two of them went down the mountain, Lin Yi carried the vegetables in a black bag, so Zhao Wanting didn’t ask much.

When they arrived at Zhao Wanting’s house, Lin Yi’s purchases were already neatly stacked in a corner of the living room. In the kitchen, Kong Chunhua had just started cooking, and Zhao Aiguo was helping to wash the vegetables.

“Auntie Kong, Uncle Zhao, long time no see.” Lin Yi was very enthusiastic. “These are vegetables grown in the courtyard. I can’t finish them alone, so I brought them here for you to try.”

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, Zhao Aiguo dropped what he was doing and came out to greet him. “Since you’re already here, why did you bring something? Why are you still treating me like an outsider at my own house?”

“That’s right,” Kong Chunhua agreed from the kitchen. “This is your home. Forget it this time. Don’t do it again.”

“Got it.”

Lin Yi agreed. He smiled broadly because he knew that the two of them really thought of him as family and weren’t being polite.

At this moment, Kong Chunhua could not suppress her curiosity and asked, “Xiaoyi, has your body really recovered? Old Zhao keeps saying that, but isn’t that illness a terminal illness?”

“I’ve really recovered. Look at my complexion now, it’s so normal.” Lin Yi smiled and explained, “There was no more problem after taking the medicine for a few days and a follow-up. Perhaps I just happened to be lucky.”

“I see.” Kong Chunhua nodded without letting up whether or not she believed him. “It’s good that you’re fine. You have to thank the doctor who treated you.”

“I will.”

At this moment, Zhao Wanting handed the black bag that Lin Yi had brought into the kitchen and helped Kong Chunhua open it. Since it was vegetables, she could stir-fry some tonight.

Besides, the bag was full. She was also curious if Elder Brother Xiaoyi had brought a lot of things down with him.

“Wow! This vegetable is so pretty!”

“It looks a little bigger than usual!”

Zhao Aiguo was about to pull Lin Yi into the study when he heard Zhao Wanting and Kong Chunhua exclaim from the kitchen.

Zhao Aiguo turned around and saw the vegetables that were slightly larger than usual. He was not surprised. Instead, he looked thoughtful.

“It’s probably because the water on the mountain is good and the vegetables are growing bigger.” Zhao Aiguo helped Lin Yi answer before he could make up a reason. “Alright, the two of you can cook first. I have something to discuss with Xiaoyi. I’ll help out later.”

“Got it. The two of us will do it. Take your time.”

Lin Yi followed Zhao Aiguo into the study. Zhao Aiguo closed the door behind him. After making sure that Wanting was not following curiously, he turned to Lin Yi and said sternly,

“Xiaoyi, tell me honestly. Have you joined a cultivation sect?”

“Uncle Zhao, why do you say that?”

Lin Yi was a little surprised. Uncle Zhao actually knew about cultivation?

“A Martial Artist’s internal energy is useless with the illness. Only the spiritual power or medicinal pills of immortal cultivators can cure you.” Zhao Aiguo looked at Lin Yi meaningfully. “I wasn’t 100% sure until you took out those vegetables today…”

“The aura emitted by the vegetables is not something that can be found in ordinary places. These vegetables must come from a treasure land filled with spiritual energy.”
